Half way through The Map Of The World. Anyone read this one? Rather depressing. Sad

I am reading 'The Godfather' written by Mario Puzo. I can't stop reading the story is challenging.

Peter S. I read The Godfather in the 70s when it first came out. It is a real page turner.

Joanne Dorel thank you for welcome me. Smile
I read the book also in the 70s as I was a youngster, but now I am reading it the first time written in English.

Re-reading "The Once and Future King". I'm finding it a tough read this time through. It goes from keenly interesting to mind-numbingly boring at the turn of a page.

Currently reading "The Guns of the South", by Harry Turtledove.

It's very interesting...I definitely see why he's called "the master of alternate history".

i have a hard bound copy that has mixed up pages in the third book, it goes like page 1/2, 75/76, 3/4, 77/78 (not exactly like this but you get the point) etc, it makes for a pretty exciting read, the first time i didn't notice and some of the sentences from one page to the next made sense but the context and content were way off, anyway

i'm currently reading - oryx and crake - margaret attwood

I'm reading "The Pleasure of Thought", an interview with James Hillman, a very interesting psychologist-philosopher I didn't know about.
And, good grief, he's from Atlantic City! Whoodathunk.
